FAMOUS Project

Japanese: FAMOUS計画 - フェイマスけいかく
FAMOUS Project
A detailed survey of the central axis of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge conducted by a joint French-American team in 1974. This is an abbreviation for French-American Mid-Ocean Undersea Study. Because the seafloor spreading theory was based mainly on inferences from observations of the ocean floor from above sea level, this project aimed to observe and study the actual spreading process in the same detail as geological research on land, using the deep-sea research vessels Alvin (USA), Siana, and Archimedes (all French), and produced significant results.
